Track the Questons You Ask
What kinds of questions do you ask? Are your questions effectively spurring students’ learning? Track your questions and look for opportunities to insert more-powerful questions into your teaching.
Take a Break and Move
How much movement do your students get during the school day? Do they get to move their bodies at times other than recess or PE? Inspired Teachers know that students’ brains and bodies need to move throughout the school day.
Share Questions With Family
Inspired teachers know that building partnerships with students’ families is an integral part of our practice. We also know family engagement includes regularly talking at home about what children are doing and learning in school.
